Just a few lines to say 'Hi'! and introduce myself.
Already seem to have trod on someones toes but ...

Went to Art College to study Photography and Film in the late 70's.
Worked in Advertising in London as a photographer in the 70's-80's.
Moved to the Midlands in the 90's and became a Lecturer in Photography.

Always willing to talk about photography and matters technical and offer help if I can but whatever I say is just my opinion and nothing more so treat it as such.
The only things that get me going are wilful stupidity and poseurs - and they usually get me going to the pub!
